Here’s something you don’t see every day: 20 bought-and-paid-for copies of a print newspaper. I got them for class earlier today. My students read online (as do I), but it’s useful to know where certain conventions come from. Hard to explain the editorial and op-ed pages just from looking at a website.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a great 2013!
Ruggles Station, 6:30 a.m., from the Renaissance Park Garage.
Faceless snowman this morning on Centennial Common at Northeastern University.
Bees at Russell Orchards in Ipswich.
The Ipswich River at the canoe launch off Route 114 in Middleton, near the Danvers line. Taken Sunday at about 5 p.m.
Strictly virtual reality: I took this photo on Hickory Ridge Road in Putney, Vt., with my iPhone on Sunday morning. Instagram filters brought out the highlights, but the focus was soft. So I ran it through iPhoto and turned up the sharpness all the way.
Taken a little after 6 a.m. today.
North Church, Portsmouth, N.H., taken late Tuesday afternoon.
Amazing sky on the North Shore this evening.
